Answer 1

Answer:

option A  is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of interest earned for compounded monthly  for $1 = 1.040742

Amount of interest earned for compounded quarterly for $1= 1.040604

Difference for $1  =   1.040742 - 1.40604

                 =0.000138

Difference for $7000 = $7000x0.000138

                                    = 0.966

                                      or $0.96
